FARM and HOUSEHOLD.
REPAIRING FARM IMPLEMENTS.

Mechanical ingenuity does not
come to every farmer. There are
those who are possessed of excel.
lent intelligence and yet who have
not enough Of mechanical skill to
make a respectable milking stool.
Such farmers are from necessity
compelled to employ a mechanic
for every little job that demands
attention. On the other hand,
there are those who are possessed
of great ingenuity and are skillful
in the use of tools. This is a
faculty that is not wholly acquired,
and yet 1t can and should be cult.
waited so far as possible. Every
farmer should have a workshop in
which little jobs Of work can be
done on rainy days. This should
not only be supplied with a good
selection of tools usually required,
but also with materials such as are
likely to be brought into use. The
room need not of necessity be
large, bat of sufficient size for con-
venience. 1t should be systemat.
cally arranged so that all tools
should have their appropriate
places. These should comprise
saws, chisels, augers, bitstock, bits,
hammer, axe, shop Ratchet, planes,
wrench, files, and many others
which it is unnecessary to mention.
In the line of stock there should
be a supply of variety of nails and
screws, bolts Of various kinds and
sizes, tacks, wire and leather, and
various kinds of lumber and pieces
of wood as would DO called into
use. With these at hand the
farmer can many times save not
only a journey to a mechanic, but
a bill which, with each addition in
the course Of the year, would be
considerable. Frequently the loss
of nut or the breaking of a bolt
necessitates journey to the black
smith shop il no supply is at hand;
bat If the farmer has a supply, he
has only to replace the missing or
broken part and his work pro-
crosses undisturbed. If time is
money then the farmer Is benefited
in avoiding unnecessary Journeys
for repairs. AT all events, be can
if he will spend the time so saved
in rest or reading for the improve
ment of his mind, a thing which is
for the advantage of every tiller of
the soil. During the winter the
farmer should examine his imple-
ments and see that all repairs are
attended to.

A GOOD JOKE.

Boys are often fond of playing
practical jokes. Such may some
times be done, but never to any
ones inconvenience. In one of our
colleges, a professor, who made
himself very friendly with the stu
dents, was walking out with an in
telligent scholar, when they saw
an old man hOeing in the cOrnfeld.
He was advancing slowly with his
work toward the road, by the side
of which lay his shoes. AS it was
near sunset, the student proposed
to play the old man joke. 81
will hide his shoes; we will conceal
ourselves behind the bushes, aud
see what be will do"
"No,' said the professor, sit
would not be right. You have
money enough just put dollar in
the mans shoes; then we will hide
behind the bushes, and see what
be will do"
The student agreed to the pro.
posal, aud thew concealed them.
selves accordingly.
When the labOrer had finished
his row of corn, he came out of the
field to 90 home. He put on one
shoe, felt something hard, took it
of and found the dollar. He look
ed around him but saw no one,
and looked up gratefully toward
Heaven. He then put on the other
shoe, and found another dollar.
He looked at it, and looked all
around him, but saw no one. He
then knelt upon the ground and
returned thanks to God for the
blessings that had been conferred
upon him. The listeners learned
from the prayer that the old mans
wife and one of his children were
sick, and that they we're very poor ;
so that the 80 we're a great relief
sent to them from Heaven.
"There," said the professor, chow
much better this is than to have
hidden the old mans Shoes

that he strongly testiies to the
happy results accruing from the use
of this medicine in preventing the
frequently very serious conse-
quences that follow an attack of
measles. The resultant effects of
an attack OF measles remain in the
system for months, and unless great
care is exercised the lingering poi

vital part of the system, endanger-
